The history of ‘Khadi’ almost
begins from the day Mahatma Gandhi came to know about the ‘Charakha’
for the first time in 1908 when he was in London as the head
of a delegation from South Africa. He decided then and there
the course he was to take and the goal he was to pursue in his
future life --devoting himself to the service of India and freeing
it from the shackles of British rule.
On his return to India from South Africa, Gandhiji chose to
espouse two causes – to secure freedom for India from
the of British rule, and redeem its people from the clutches
of poverty. in this great battle of his, ‘Charakha’
and ‘Khadi’ were to be the wheels of his chariot
and ‘truth’ and ‘non-violence’ his weapons.
Khadi also symbolised India’s return to its traditional
occupation and revival of its once glorious past.
